Zig-zag needle-knitted beanie; multi-colour work without having to swap around colours in the middle of a row. This is done by slipping stitches.

Useful technique, but note that the tutorial doesn't start until about half way through the video.

Twelve-strand Kumihimo braid with a triangular cross-section. Can be done with other numbers of strands, so long as one can divide them into three roughly equal groups.

A colour set-up of of Fay Halberstam's _Three By Three_ Kumihimo braid for three colours.

A reworking of Fay Halberstam's _Three By Three_ braid so that it only has six steps rather than twenty-one. The general pattern is for a counter-twist braid; that is, the odd-numbered steps are to move the warps clockwise, and the even-numbered steps are to move the warps anti-clockwise. This is six steps rather than two because of the odd number of warps.

Nine-strand Kumihimo braid with a triangular cross-section. Can be done with other numbers of strands, so long as one can divide them into three roughly equal groups.

Crochet spiral in THREE colours, rather than one or two.

Three-colour Tunisian (simple) stitch. Pretty simple concept, nice idea, but not quite as awesome as the page makes it out to be.

An interesting three-colour stitch-pattern. Unlike some, it doesn't look that difficult, mainly DC and CH, a sort of alternating Spike stitch.
